The channel strip EQ in SSL consoles has been a huge factor in the enduring popularity of the SSL sound. SSL produced several channel strip EQ variations over the years with each type having its own special distinct character. The 292 was one of the last iterations of SSLs famed EQ designs. The G-EQ is modeled after the rack-mounted version of SSLs G 292 EQ boasting the pink knob EQ. When engineers prioritize character and shape over detail the fabled 292 is often their EQ of choice.

Go for More Extreme Character

Add the SSL G-EQ to your chain to create more extreme equalization than with the E-Channel Strip. Many engineers use the E-Channels EQ for detail work adding the SSL G-EQ further down the chain to give the sound extra character.

More Sonic SSL Options

For the two parametric stages the 292 has an increased boost/cut range up to 20 dBand 17 dB for the shelving stages. This considerable increase over the original E-series EQs gives even more sonic options.

Sweeter Shelving

The shelving EQ stages have a slight pre-boost dip and pre-cut rise. This gives the low shelf warmer lows while the high shelf has more definition and clarity from giving a lift just above the midrange area.

Change Character with One Click

The parametric stages can choose from two rangesthe high-mid stages HMFx3 button multiplies the center frequency by 3 while the low-mid stages LMF3 button divides the frequency by 3.

Faithful to the Original

The G-EQ models the noise and harmonic distortion of analog devices. Use the Analogue on/off switch to leave it in for analog character and a slight edge or turn it off for pristine digital transparency.

Features:

• Proportional-Q design for gentler tonal shifts and smooth sound
• HMFx3 and LMF3 buttons switch center frequencies with one click
• Analog on/off switch for analog character or digital transparency
• 2 fully parametric stages 2 shelving stages 2 filters (LP HP)
• Steep high-pass filter for tight low-frequency control
• Parametric stages have greater boost and cut than previous EQs
